Atlanta and Augusta Back Injuries Lawyer
Georgia Spinal Cord Injury Attorney
Back injuries are among the most serious and common workers' compensation injuries. Heavy lifting, standing on your feet all day, driving long distances and trauma all can cause or contribute to an underlying back injury. Often, as the employee ages, the spine begins to degenerate, leaving it susceptible to injury. However, even the youngest worker in sedentary conditions can sustain back injuries while working. The Law Office of Bryan S. Hawkins represents injured workers throughout Georgia who have sustained back injuries.
We offer free initial consultations. To schedule yours, please call us in Augusta at 706-305-1130 or in Atlanta at 404-877-9188.
